About Lapland Hotels SnowVillage

Lapland Hotels SnowVillage is rebuilt from scratch every year at Lainio in Kittilä, with a new theme each winter: a complex of about two hectares, made with over 20 million kilos of snow and about 300,000 kilos of natural ice. It is open from 25 December 2026 to 4 April 2027, daily 10am–10pm. It is about 15 km from Ylläsjärvi by the shortest ski route and about 50 km from Levi, and a bus runs daily from both resorts while it is open.

Why it's on our list

  • Ice art
  • Snow suites
